		In 1934, the viral origin of mumps was recognised and the 1st culture in cellular tissue was performed in 1945, constituting the 1st stride towards the development of inactivated vaccines, followed by attenuated live vaccines.

	NewsHour Extra: Mumps Spreads in Colleges in Midwest -- April 26, 2006
		Mumps is a contagious but short-lived viral disease that most commonly affects the salivary glands in the mouth.
		Mumps spreads like the common cold, through sneezes and coughs, and from shared surfaces where mucus particles could be left behind and picked up by another person -- a process called "fomite transmission." This explains why the virus can spread so quickly in situations where people are close together, such as planes and classrooms.
		Mumps is untreatable, but the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination, usually received as two shots during childhood, has an effectiveness of about 90 percent, according to the CDC.
